Otto Porter.

My NBA comparison is to Luol Deng coming out of Duke.

Chad Ford on Porter

quote:He might be a Jeff Green clone and, if he is, he'll be a bit of a disappointment. But I see some Scottie Pippen in him. With the right team and the right coach, he could be a star at the next level.

Porter is really good defensively. Coach Thompson III always raves about his defensive prowess. How he always makes the correct defensive rotation.

Porter is extremely long at nearly 6'9. I think his length is going to be a real asset defensively in the NBA.

He rebounds well, 7.5 per game, despite not being overly athletic.

Porter has drastically improved his shooting from a year ago. In fact, he has made 12 of his last 22 3-point attempts.

Porter also contributes in other areas on the floor. Averaging 2.5 APG, 1.8 SPG and 1.1 BPG.
